    Angry ICFX3200 motherboard driving me mental!! I need some help!!

    I just bought a ICFX3200 motherboard for my backup system. However I seem to be having problems even booting up the system. I have the following bits in my system:
    ICFX3200 motherboard
    Core2 E4300 processor.
    WD WD800 80gb ide hdd
    1gb Geil ddr800 ram
    7100gs graphics card
    Globalwinn 520W PSU.

    Upon booting the system a message comes about the checksum being incorrect and to press F1 to continue or del to get into the bios. Pressing either leads to a blank screen. I have tried changing the slots in which the dimm is in and even using a Geil 667mhz 1gb dimm from my main system and nothing changes. Even tried changing the video card to a 8500GT I borrowed for a while. I have tried clearing the CMOS and removing and reinserting the battery to no avail.

    I noticed that the motherboard LED display says 7F also.

    Anybody here know what the problem maybe??

    I cannot even get into the bios!!

    have you increased the memory voltage? That Geil should be operating at around 2.1V i think. Double check
